About Diane Harris

I'm an editor for Quiltmaker magazine in Golden, Colorado, USA. For six years, I wrote pattern instructions, product reviews and how-to articles. Then I spent four years as QM's Interactive Editor, working to generate much of our online content. Now I'm back to patterns and how-tos, which is a great fit for me. I still love writing about quilt-related topics for Quilty Pleasures, and I always have my finger on the pulse of the quilting world. I teach a variety of quilt classes and give guild programs, too. Reach me by email: editor@quiltmaker.com.

Quiltmaker is by far, my favorite magazine. I’ve been getting it for years and can’t throw out a single issue. I’d like to see more scrap quilts. After a LOT of years of quilting, I have accumulated a LOT of scraps.

I love the variety of the blocks in Vol 6. I’m VERY new to quilting so any tips, techniques, tutorials, etc. even the ones seasoned quilters would assume I should know would be greatly appreciated by me and maybe great refreshers for those not so new to the craft.

So many of us read many blogs and websites, visit quilt shows and swoon over the more advanced techniques of quilting. I think it would be nice to see more advanced patterns. Maybe a section that takes it up knotch like the chef Emeril “BAM!”
